Tmw at 1pm. Eek. Calmed down about it a bit. Going to try not to go in all guns blazing. Will plaster a big smile on my face and just tell them my preferences

Just won this off eBay for 99p oO https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...570327&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2654wt_922

Rly close to us so I can pick up tues when i go to the dentist. Won't use most of it for yonks but the books themselves are worth the quid.

Oh Helen, you have your appointment tomorrow! Will you have your ultrasound, too? So exciting to see if we have a boy or a girl to add to the list!

We've been trying to pick out paint colors for Gus's room, but it's so hard! I was hoping to do a light green so it's pretty but still kinda neutral. I think a blue is gonna look better with the dinosaur stuff, though. It will be pretty, but I just hate to have the generic "blue for boys" color. I think that's what I'm gonna miss most about not having a girl-- all the color! You can do ANY color for a girl really, but seems like all the boy stuff is limited to blue/green/gray. So blah! (Others can probably do more colors, but Nick wouldn't go for it for our boy.) Think we've picked a blue though, and Nick will get started on it in a few weeks. We still need to clean the room out more, so think I'll work on that next weekend. Night everyone!

Yep scan day!

There's a lot of range of blues to choose from so it doesn't have to be bog standard boring blue. We've got a grey blue in our bedroom which is rly nice. Or you can go more purpley.

 

[xheartsx]

Good luck with your scan! Let us know asap!

Our bedroom is a grey-blue too and i love it!

Have a good day everybody. X

I might do a quick Facebook anoucement so if I don't manage to post here could someone do it for me. Although I think most of us are in the fb group now. Nervous! The time just won't pass. Going to aqua aerobics this morning even tho my armpits need depilating. I've left it too long tho so they're too hairy now and it'll hurt! Need a wax rly.

 

[xheartsx]

I know time will drag but just do things to keep yourself occupied. Get yourself booked in for a wax! That'll take your mind off it! X

Morning girls,

Jade, you should have thrown the smoked haddock my way, I LOVE it and have fish addiction lol. Im still into scampi, I could eat it for breakfast atm!
Being umemployed sucks big time, esp being on job seekers BUT, I can do what I want, go to my family when I want and love being at home cooking and cleaning aside from the boring moments. The pure thought of going back into work now, scares me as Ive been of 2 months now!

Helen, Ive been a bit like that with food to be fair. The last 2 weeks, Ive not eaten lunch very much, am picky with breakfasts and dont fancy anything I do for tea but I eat it coz I have to. However, if someone put scampi in front of me Id eat it, on its own every day lol.
My nails grow like that too, I use Sally Hansen hard as nails on them to keep the strength as theyre so long they snap easily with the amount of cleaning I do !

Leigh, Isobel does the cutest things too. She has a squeaky little voice, pronounces things funny and likes brushing my hair and putting clips in it. She reads books to herself but makes the stories up and yesterday Fudge her toy dog 'cut his paw' and we had to put plasters on. I love it! Much nicer than boys lol

Helen, I cant wait to find out what sex baby is and that all is ok Let us know asap!

My legs need shaving, Im still in my nightie but did my make up at least and Im watching Jezza. I shall go on a cleaning stint in a bit then crochet.

Have a good one ladies

Morning everyone,

Well I've finally caught up and read through all the posts i missed. I'm not going to comment on everything as it will just take too long. But I'm back now

The only thing I will say is 'food in pill form' ARE YOU MAD!!!! I would hate that, I love eating, it would take all the pleasure away if we just had to take a pill and be done with it! Lol.....crazy in my book

I'm off to meet the ladies that I met last week at 10.30am and then Mark, Holly and I are painting the nursery, can't wait to get it finished, I'm sure it'll feel more real with all the cot set up etc. The weeks are rolling by now We'll soon be packing our hospital bags!

Exciting news, Holly and Mark both felt their first kicks on the outside this last weekend! They were low down (think baby is head upwards at the mo!) and they had to press very gently on my belly to feel them, I'm sure over the next few weeks they will get stronger. I'm also noticing when bubs is awake and asleep which is cute.

I've been on the scales this morning and surprisingly only put on 1lb, so I'm really pleased, gonna get back on my healthy eating this week too. Back to work tomoz I wish I was off all the time now, but I am grateful for the money still coming in, even tho it isn't much!

Glad everyone is well. Speak soon Xxxx

Just seen your link to the GBS thread Helen I subscribed to it ages ago but haven't read much of it yet!

Jayne - Tegan is the same with talking, I swear sometimes I'm the only one who can understand her, she's saying some random phrases though, like "All the day" She says it when she's playing and we have no idea where she got it from

Another favourite is "Bye-bye, seeyousoo!" Yesterday she also came out with "Shwee" which I used to say and it's "shall we" again, we don't know how she's picked that one up, my mum rarely says it to me!

And I've just realised Jayne that you're wee man is only a few weeks older than Tegan Must be something to do with the year they were born Her mouth doesn't stop but not much intelligent comes out of it! She is learning new words everyday though, yesterday she learnt "poo"

Rach - I had to chuckle over the fact that you were still in your nightie but had done your make-up Isobel sounds so sweet

Han - that's lovely that they were able to feel kicks I was lying on my back this morning and was pushing on my uterus and could feel the baby's back, so I poked it and it shuffled away It got me back though, I just made it downstairs as I felt like I wasn't gonna puke, sat down and barely made it upstairs in time. I think I shouldn't poke the baby any more... I used to do it with Tegs and she'd kick me

It's my last day of my sick note today Gotta ring work to see when I'm back and I don't want to go back! Roll on November 14th....

 

[pink sparkle]

Han sounds like a nice day you have planned...so jealous that i cant decorate a nursery, really nice that you can all decorate together and yay for Mark and Holly feeling your lil man move. Have you and Holly now persuaded Mark that babys name will be Roscoe? Also agree with you about the pill form food...i love food way too much to ever give it up ...which is my problem!

Rees they are very close in age arent they, ds birthday 4/09 when is Tegans? Another thing he says is 'need to go'. Im unsure of whether hes saying this to tell me he's about to wee my mum says i should get the potty set up just incase he is ready but he still seems like such a baby i couldnt imagine him using the potty...however i will give it a try as come october it will cost me a fortune having two in nappies and not to mention all the time i will be spending changing nappies! Dh doesnt change ds's now as he's too much of a wriggler and i have to do it again anyway but ive told him that he will have to learn again with the new one as we have got to share poo duty else ill be forever cleaning it up!

 

[Rees]

We're thinking about potty training Tegs from September, just to see, we're gonna stop at christmas so she doesn't go backwards when the baby's here.

Her birthday is Sept 27th, I can't believe she's nearly 2 already, I don't know where the time has gone, when the baby turns 1 she'll be off to nursery, they put start them the term after they turn 3 here so I get to cling on to my baby for longer!

I'd certainly try him on the potty if he's starting to notice things and saying things, Tegs sometimes seems to understand and knows if she's in a nappy or not, trying to get her to tell us if she's pooed at the moment, she only seems to tell us while we're changing her

 

[Cherrybinky]

dreaded potty training! When I met Pete, Isobel was still on a potty at 2 and a half years old and get this..... at her Mums, shes not allowed to use the toilet, she STILL has a potty at 4 and a half years old and theyve said she can use it till shes 5 !! Im outraged as I had her off the potty and on the loo here as soon as I could! She still hasnt grasped the concept of wiping her bottom properly, flushing and washing her hands. No wonder as her Mum does it all for her and shes on a potty !!!!

Im quite strict with the kids here and believe in getting them acting like small adults asap! Xander is 6 and likes to help with the housework so I let him and he gets paid 50p for it lol

Im starving so am having curried mackerel on toast YUMMY !

[Rees]

That's awful! I can't believe that her mum still makes her use the potty!

We used to have our potty's in our bedroom at night but our toilet was downstairs right at the back of the house and it was easier for us if we needed to go! I can't remember how old I was when they were taken away though! I must have been 6 maybe? I was dry by day by 2 and a half and I was nearly 5 until I was dry at night, my brother was dry by day and night at the age of 2.

But to make her still use a potty at 4 all the time?? Not very good at making her feel like a big girl!

 

[pink sparkle]

Omg that is awful that her mums doing that good on you though to get her out of it at your house, sounds like mum is being a bit lazy. I worked full time and lived at home with my mum when dd was potty trained and tbh my mum done it for me when i was at work! So ill be new to it all ....eeek!

Just rang the hospital and my scan is for next thursday so something to look forward to although im a lil worried that baby isnt growing as it should as im carrying so small, but i know that doesnt mean that baby isnt big enough.

 

[cranberry987]

Hi

Well it's too early to see everything apparently. Why would they book me in then! Have to come back next week. What they could see was fine tho. Size fine and placenta is anterior as I thought but away from the cervix.

Legs were crossed over it's head so couldn't sex baby. They didn't try for long tho. Was in and out in 5 mins.

 

[pink sparkle]

OMG like you said why book you in that early! Didnt you query it with them aswell? At least you got to see lo an extra time and fingers crossed that baby will be a bit more co-operative next week. Great that what they could see looked all good xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Helen, theyre telling you porkies! Too early, my arse Still, maybe baby will be more accommodating next week
We were in our 20 week scan for 20 mins or more. She was very efficient, thorough and helpful. She measured everything, showed us baby at all times and explained everything.

Jayne, she IS lazy. She has 4 kids all under 6 years old. Shes never worked a day in her life and shes 31. She doesnt go out anywhere, doesnt seem to do much with the kids at all and I dont like some of the things she does. Her partner is just as bad. On benefits as hes 'depressed' (been there done that and I WORKED). Hes hardly ever worked and is a waste of space who plays World of Warcraft all night then sleeps till 3pm! GRRRRR.

Telling Isobel to use the potty is just pure laziness because they cant be arsed and have 2 under 2's to look after.

*breathe Rachel*

[cranberry987]

She didn't even try tbh. Told me I would have to come back before I even got on the table. Was 5 mins in there. Didn't rly expect any different. Have a scan Friday for heart. Might be able to sex baby then. And this is being repeated next Tuesday. Nurse was crap, obv didn't want to be there

Will have a private scan if they can't tell the sex next week

Boo

 

[Cherrybinky]

and they wonder why we dislike hospitals!

I had a horrid experience at my 12 week scan and complained (whilst sobbing) about the teenage sonographer in a mucky uniform who didnt know what she was doing and we were in there 5 mins. Luckily I got another scan with a male sonographer who was wicked and it made the experience nicer. Only to then sit for 2 hours to see a Dr who didnt know what he was doing, a nurse who did my urine and bp and then shut me in a room. THEN, another half hour to have bloods done. The reception staff were useless and rude too.

20 week scan was better (ish!). Private scans, much nicer and well worth the money.

Rach they sound awful thank god the children have you and pete xxx

Helen did you see the doc or will that be next week? If so how did that go? did your oh discuss induction with them?
